Post-harvest sucrose losses are always a critical problem for sugar industries. A predominant factor which is causing these post-harvest losses that affects sugar recovery is the bacterium spp. This study aims to check the efficacy of certain chemical treatments in reducing the proliferation of this bacterium. Our study based on a -specific media revealed that application of 0.5 % aqueous solution of benzalkonium chloride and sodium metasilicate (BKC + SMS), formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, sodium chloride and pine oil showed significant reduction in zone of proliferation. Considering formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde as control, the most effective treatments were chemical formulations of benzalkonium chloride along with sodium metasilicate, pine oil and sodium chloride in checking the proliferation of this bacterium. The application of these treatments has an immense potential in the sugar industry for reducing post-harvest sugar losses.
收获后蔗糖损失一直是制糖工业面临的关键问题。导致这些影响糖分回收的收获后损失的一个主要因素是细菌属。本研究旨在检验某些化学处理方法在减少这种细菌增殖方面的效果。我们基于特定培养基的研究表明，应用0.5%的苯扎氯铵和偏硅酸钠水溶液（BKC + SMS）、甲醛、戊二醛、氯化钠和松油可使增殖区域显著减少。以甲醛和戊二醛作为对照，最有效的处理方法是苯扎氯铵与偏硅酸钠、松油和氯化钠的化学配方，可抑制这种细菌的增殖。这些处理方法的应用在制糖工业中对于减少收获后糖分损失具有巨大潜力。
